If your Web server should be visible from the internet you should do:
- create a dynamic nameserver address, e.g. dnydns.org (but there are
a lot of others. An example may be: yufan.dnsalias.org
This address will be used from the internet to access your web server
- configure your router (better) or the machine which hosts your web
server (not so gut) to update the dynamic dns each time you get
a new IP address from your provider.
- configure your router to forward request on port 80 to your server.
Forget about DMZ in your case
- configure your web server to anser to the name you choosed in step
1, e.g. ServerName yufan.dnsalias.org
If your Web server should be visible from your internal network, too:
- configure your Web server to answer to a second name, too, which
is used on your internel network, e.g. yufan.internal
ServerAlias yufan.internal
- Enable all your clients to find yufan.internal
a) create an entry in /etc/hosts on each machine, eg.
192.168.x.y yufan.internal
(windows has a correspondig location for the host file inside
c:\windos, I yust don't remember the exact place)
b) set up a full internal DNS
If you have only up to about 10 machines on your internal network,
it may be less work to use alternative a)
Have fun
